The progress of the British army in Asia has been marked by a scrupulous reference to justice, an inviolable respect for property, an abstinence from anything which could tend to wound the feelings and prejudices of the people; and the result is this that I saw, not many weeks ago, a distinguished military officer who had just returned from the center of Afghanistan, from a place called Candahar which many of you perhaps never heard of, and told me that he, accompanied by half a dozen attendants, but without any military escort, had ridden on horseback many thousand miles, through a country inhabited by wild and semibarbarous tribes who, but two years ago, were arrayed in fierce hostility against the approach of British arms, but that he had ridden through them all with as much safety as he could have ridden from Tiverton to John Great's house, his name as a British officer being a passport through them all, because the English had respected their rights, and afforded them protection, and treated them with justice.
Thy bones are marrowless, thy blood is cold, Thou hast no speculation in those eyes, Which thou dost glare with. ....................................... What man dare, I dare: Approach thou like the rugged Russian bear, The arm'd rhinoceros, or Hyrcanian tyger, Take any shape but that, and my firm nerves Shall never tremble: or be alive again, And dare me to the desert with thy sword; If trembling I inhibit, then protest me The baby of a girl.

Adhémar and Delisle, to engage any number of Eclesiasticks that were necessary for supplying the vacant Parishes in Canada, and such other persons as they might judge proper for the tuition of their children, from any country unconnected with the House of Bourbon, as it is more than probable, that report of different tendency will be propagated by them on their return to Québec, I am persuaded that the most effectual way of securing the attachment of the Canadians, is that of preventing by all possible means, every communication or connection with France, or persons who are influenced in favor of that country, and therefore it behoves the King's servants to be watchful of their conduct upon every occasion, and to act with great firmness whenever any discovery should be made of even an attempt inconsistent with their entire separation.
Voici, dans les cris du XVIIe siècle, le quatrain qui concerne les tonneliers ambulants: Tinettes, tinettes, tinettes! A beaucoup de gens sont propices, Et si font beaucoup de services, Regardez: elles sont bien nettes. À Londres, au siècle dernier, le cri était: Any work for the Cooper! Avez-vous de l'ouvrage pour le tonnelier?
